60 Greenpoint Ave

If you come here and don't order the Hellboy, it's like you were never here. Who can say no to fresh mozzarella cheese, soppressata and Mike's hot honey? Their other pizzas are good too (some with interesting flavor combinations), but the Hellboy is one not to miss. This place is incredibly busy though (with good reason), especially on weekends, so I recommend arriving early if you don't want an 1+ hour long wait. For a pizza place, they also have a decent wine and cocktail menu, even though they're served extremely casually in standard drinking glasses. And that gives you a pretty good sense for the vibes.

Food: 4.5/5 Excellent place to get the quintessential New Yorker slice. The pizza is delicious and you can't go wrong with whatever variety you choose. The toppings are plentiful and the hot honey is worth the up charge. Service: 4/5 Service is nice and effective. You get in, you pay, you eventually get your pizza. Ambiance: 4/5 Very relaxed and chill. A good spot to start your night on the town, take a break during a rager or treat yourself in the early morning for a job well done after a night out. You didn't lose your keys or leave your credit card at the bar so you deserve a slice!

How a place can stay in business making mediocre pizza in New York is beyond me. The staff were kind and helpful. We couldn't really talk with each other because it was so loud but maybe on a not busy time it could be ok. Or just know what you are getting into. It has a fun rustic "barn" vibe that was very cozy.

Fun, trendy pizza place. Loved the entrance stepping into the path of the wood floors leading you to the back where there are tables mostly in community seatings. The back wall is where the magic happens! That is where " The Napoli" pizza oven greets you! We were the last customers for the evening for our server Jordan. This was only her 2nd day on the job, yet friendliness, positive vibe and energy and knowledge lead us to believe as if she has been working there for years! The pizza was delectable with layers of flavors with every bite. The butter beans were tastefully fantastic! The vegan OG salad as well. The fried clams were scrumptious ! When in Brooklyn and when you are craving for pizza, this place IS A MUST to satisfy just that!! And, Don't be confused by the name thinking this must be of Asian Cuisine . Oh, and when you are here, ask for Jordan!

Huge fan of Paulie Gee's! Definitely recommend getting a reservation as this is my favorite pizza spot in the Greenpoint area. I love the Neffy's Porkpie White and Ricky Ricotta, one white and one red pizza. The toppings are ample and very fresh. The crust is delicious as well. For $23 a pizza, I think the price is pretty fair for how filling the pizza is. Service is also fantastic!

Also packed with a line outside the door for late lunch - but the interior is spacious with also outdoor seating! We got the Hell Boy and Mutz, which was a lot flavorful than a typical white pie with a great oomph from the garlic. We've tried the Hell Boy slice at MSG but getting it fresh and hot here is best - the sesame dough crunch is unreal!

Above average wood fired Neapolitan. I just wished crust could be bit more crispy. Must get the "Hellboy" and their OG Arugula salad. Good choices of cocktail and wine. My server, she was extremely polite and responsive. Parking in the area is somewhat difficult and meters up till 10pm.

Came in for some pizza around 3:30pm on a Saturday. There were a few other tables filled and the place was warm and cozy (it was like 15 degrees outside). Service was friendly and quick and the pizza was delicious. Lots of good options for vegetarians like us. Would love to come back to try other things on the menu. Great option in Greenpoint!

Pizza - hellboy. I don't get the hype of this hot honey. Meh, not a fan of sweet on my savory. With the meats, it actually ended up being too salty. Pizza - white porky pie. I usually don't like white pizza as much but I liked this pizza better than the other. Appetizer to share - Arancini. The insides were delicious. Two of them were super hard on the outside. No, not crispy, but hard. The last one was perfectly crispy. Something went wrong with the batch. The pizza flavors were OK, but oh, this crust is thin and crispy, delicious. This is what they call neopolitan style pizza with the oven in the back.

We were walking to our car to go to our next destination when all of the sudden our noses were hit with a cheesy smell. The a very strong whoa this is so cheesy smell. We turned to each other and said, "where's that from?". Upon realizing it was a pizzeria we noted the name of the restaurant for the future. We got to the car and said just one slice wouldn't hurt. Getting back out of the car and ordering a slice was the best decision made all day. We wanted to try the hellboy but couldn't afford the 10min wait so opted for the Mootz to go. It was a fresh and low moisture mozzarella with garlic and pecorino romaro. Essentially the best white cheese pizza you can have. I highly recommend it. I must come back for more. Made my top list of pizzerias for sure!

Everybody loves a Brooklyn pizza and Paulie Gee's is a staple. From rave reviews from chefs to all my vegan friends who love their pizza, I decided it was finally time to give Paulie a shot. My partner and I popped in on a Saturday evening and waited about 30 minutes before we were seated. The place is rustic casual and has a real old school charm. Pizza paraphernalia adorn the walls and an old school coca cola vending machine (pretty sure it was just for show) give the place a hip and divey vibe. Per our waitress' recommendation, we ordered the two most popular pizzas: the Greenpointer and the Hellboy. The Hellboy was delicious with its crispy and savory sopressata dashed with Mike's hot honey and the Greenpointer was also very good with the nutty parmigiano and zesty lemon. The two pizzas complemented one another with the Hellboy being richer in flavor and the Greenpointer being a nice closer with the refreshing lemon. My only gripe was with the Greenpointer. I think that the amount of arugula to cheese ratio was off and made the pizza a little dry (since there's so much arugula). While we were eating, the waitress checked in with us during our meal to make sure things were smooth. Service was friendly. I would come back to try the other pizzas because the pizzas are great and don't leave you feeling heavy. Definitely a solid choice for a Brooklyn bite.

This place has many choices for pizzas - each with their own unique combination of toppings. My partner and I got the hellboy and neffy's porkpie white. My partner loved the hellboy and even got a side of hot oil to make it extra hot. I loved the neffy's porkpie white which came with dollops of ricotta. The crust for both pies were thin. This place also has many vegan pizza options as well! Ambiance was perfect for a date night with candles. Some of the tables were shared tables with different groups sitting at opposite ends. Staff were attentive and nice.

Paulie Gee's has been on my list to try for a while and it did not disappoint! I got the Greenpointer (a heavily arugula'd pie with parmesan and lemon). Things could have gone very sideways with this pie and all its greens, but it was delicious! Paulie Gee's absolutely nails it on the crust. If you like a soft, chewy, air bubble baked crust, this is the spot for you. Crispy crust lovers (ew!) keep it moving. This pie also stood the "next day straight outta the fridge test" and remained tasty sans help. The vibe is also super chill and welcoming (if you like dark and dimly lit, cozy vibes). Definitely recommend Paulie Gee's!!

Hands down (as of right now) my favorite pizza restaurant in the city... I've been several times and I have to say my favorite pizza they have is the Hellboy, which has pepperoni and hot honey (among a few other spices/toppings). Ambiance and service are also fantastic, it feels like walking into a cozy time machine as you sit in the dimly lit seating area, never too far from the woodfire oven in the background. Not to mention they have fantastic beer to go along with the pizza and the prices are extremely reasonable -- can't recommend this place enough!

Everything everyone else says. The arugula salad slaps in its simplicity. The Bubba Guy was my favorite. The Cherry Jones was unique but not mind-blowing unique as you'd think with gongonzola and cherries, though it was a nicer sweeter pie. The vibe is cute, loud, busy. Cocktails weren't anything special.

Had a great time at Paulie Gee's and even got to meet Paulie Gee! Loved the unique pizzas and enjoyed the vibes of this spot a lot. I would not consider this the best pizza ever, but I did like trying the pizza. We walked over the bridge at around 5:30. We sat at the bar and the bar is elevated, so you're looking up at the server. The place is a vibe! We ordered the hellboy and the Regina. I thought they both tasted great. The crust does get a bit soggy and I did think they pizzas were slightly on the oily/salty side. However, it was all-in-all a good experience. The two pies were more than enough for two people. We had a few slices left over and brought them home, I don't think they held up too well after a day. The ambiance of this place is fun and dark (perfect for a date night), the pizza is solid, and the people are great. I would definitely recommend coming here at least once!

Very very good. I've lived in the neighborhood for a little over a year and have only tried the slice shop. The wood fire pizzas here are delicious. So much flavor and loved that there were so many options on the menu. We decided to try the Caesar salad, Greenpointer & HELLBOY. Caesar was savory and tasty, wasn't sure how I felt about the fried cheese croutons but I won't dock points for it! The two pizzas were great choices. I liked the fresh and lightness of the Greenpointer and the HELLBOY didn't feel too heavy either but that is definitely the star of the show. I 100% recommend and would definitely go back. Service was fast and they were friendly! No AC but WORTH IT.

Went to Paulie Gees with a big group for a friends bday after we learned the slice shop was closes. Ordered a bunch of pizzas to share that were pretty solid! Loved the pepperoni and cheese pizza especially the hellboy since it had mozzarella:) loved that they brought over mikes hot honey it really elevated the flavors for all pizzas. our server was also beyond kind - brought us so much hot honey and let us charge our phones in the back (we were out all day LOL). only con to me is the crust was super burnt but lots of people like it that way. would recommend and would return!

I am finally writing my review for Paulie Gee's! I came here on a Sunday afternoon with friends after being in Greenpoint. We ordered the Hellboy pizza and another one that I am forgetting the name of. I had never had honey on my pizza before and I really enjoyed it! Service was great; our server was super nice and answered our questions. Our pizzas came fast too! I wasn't blown away by the pizza, but I still enjoyed it!

My favorite place near Homewood campus for delish pizza night with friends! Great for large groups, because they don't take reservations and are quick to serve the table. The six of us devoured four pizzas, including two large ones so come with an empty stomach and enjoy!

Rave reviews from various people is what got me here. Some also said go to eat here vs the slice shop as the pizza tastes better at the sit down restaurant. I was promptly seated inside one afternoon when it was basically empty. This place does not sell slices so plan on ordering a whole pizza. They are thin slices so you can easily eat a few slices and have a few to take home. It was nice to see they had a vegan menu as well. I got a chance to see them make the dough and pizza in front of my eyes and then place in the wood fire. I ordered the 'Ricky Ricotta' but with vegan sausage and regular ricotta with some garlic added. The overall pizza taste was average. I think the pizza could have been cooked a bit longer and had more sauce. It is not covered in melted cheese like you would normally see, but instead dollops of ricotta. I don't think this was the pizza for me. The server checked on me once but then never again. So, I waited awhile once I was done hoping someone would come by with the check especially since I was the only one seated there. I think a few others came in and sat at the bar so with just one server no one checked on me. I eventually had to get up and walk to the front of the restaurant to get the server's attention at the bar and request the bill and box. This small pizza was roughly $25 and could feed two. They have plenty of indoor seating, a bar, and restrooms. Overall, not super impressed by the pizza. It was mediocre. I like my pizza saucy. I'm glad I asked which had red sauce because many of the vegetarian options were all white sauce. Perhaps I need to try a different style and come when it is a little busier to ensure more staff is working. I'll try the slice shop someday and compare.

Wow truly delicious, great atmosphere perfect for families and friends. The Hellboy and the Mootz for pizza was so good and the Arancini and Caesar were delicious as well (especially the croutons). Try their Limoncello, it's house made and tasted so fresh!!

Service at the table SUCKED so badly. Paulie comes over to say hi as always. He says "so glad you came back." We've been coming here since they opened and have never had even a minute of poor service. So tonight was exceptional. Exceptionally poor. Young woman in denim shirt took our food order. Lost a pizza along the way. Asked for it twice. Never came. She didn't seem to understand what was going on. Cocktails are delicious and bartender was lovely and friendly. Food is as good as ever. Hellboy is our fave pizza and the escarole Caesar salad is perfect. Onion soup sorry to say was greasy and sweet. Not my cup of tea. Back to the horrific service. She actually threw the check at us. Then had the nerve to charge us for the missing pizza !!! R u kidding me? Nothing could have fixed these issues other than getting rid of this server. Idk how she was ever hired in the first place. Hey Paulie: thanks for the response. It was last night Friday June 23.

Overall, the neopolitan pizzas are fantastic. They were the right crisp, the crust was fluffy, and the sauce/topping/dough ratio were pretty even. The Hellboy (we added arugula) was delicious especially since I enjoy hot honey. The sake mountain way pizza kind of resembled a simple cheese pizza since all the toppings were blended into a sauce, so when we brought some slices back home, we added mushrooms and bacon on top to add some different texture. Excited to come back and try some of their other pizzas.

Came here based on reviews, recommendations, and articles on pizza places to try in nyc. I must say it didn't blow my mind, but it did meet my expectations. When you first locate the place, it looks like a warehouse based on the front door. However, when you get past the door, it's much different from what you perceive it to be on the inside. There's a big white pizza oven right smack in the back room. They have all these awards displayed in the lobby. Look for the dessert menu on a chalkboard by the entrance of the bathroom. For the table, we ordered the hot honey sundae. I got pizza off their menu, and I was able to finish it for the most part. Each pie is a personal pan, and there's vegan ones, too. The one that I got was called Hellboy, which had fresh mozzarella, Italian tomatoes, soppressata picante, and Mike's hot honey. For dessert, we ordered for the table - Mike's Hot Honey Sundae, which comes with vanilla ice cream, Mikes hot honey, and candied pecans. The ice cream definitely hit the spot. I would order a different pizza next time as they have a large list, and many sound really good.

This place is perfect in so many ways. The options for pizzas are amazing. Delicious flavor with every bite. We got the hellboy and addedd some Italian sausage to it. Perfection. The service is great. You will get your food in a timely manner and it's made to order which is great. One pie is good enough for 2 or 3 people. We enjoyed every bite!

Overrated and over reviewed... most people don't have good taste buds chicken wings and pizza is good but not really flavorful...it's a date spot not a gigantic friend gathering....service is gentrificationey....not ny style....high chance you will never have stomach issues after visiting so fresh and good quality but...not my style...

I'm not a huge pizza person but oh my god. Each pizza we ordered, I mean every single one, was perfect & so unique. I couldn't get over the flavor profile. Also best Pepperoni pizza I've ever had = hellboy (doesn't have the conventional taste). Good vibes inside, super cute place! Slowish service but it's not a big deal especially with good company (: and since it was so busy inside!

Solid 4.75 for an NY slice. I rank it in my solid top 3 pizzas in all of NYC (I've been to Lucali's, Fini Pizza, L'Industrie, Best Pizza, Rubirosa, Emmy Squared, Joe and Pats, John's on Bleeker, Bleeker Steet Pizza, Joe's Pizza, Scarr's Pizza, Prince St Pizza, L&B Spumoni Garden, Upside Pizza, Mama's Too, Irregular Pizza, etc) - Paulie Gee's is essentially tied for third place with L'Industrie with both of their square and round slices. Extremely highly ranked in my opinion. Manhattan doesn't have the best pizza around, in my honest opinion, Brooklyn takes the win for best pizzas in NYC. I had the Mootz, which is essentially a white slice as well as the the Hellboy and you really can't go wrong with those two slices. Mike's Hot honey drizzled on the Hellboy as well as potent flavoring on the white slice. Will definitely be back as I actually might be moving to the Greenpoint area.

I like in the description of Paulie Gee's that they say, "Notable Vegan Options" because they do have some great pies. 45 minute wait for table was worth the wait. We started with arugula salad with vegan Parmesan and it was wonderful. Followed it with two pies, the Vegan Regina and In Cotta Da Vegan. Both were excellent as we passed slices around our shared table. Service was spot on with timing and beverage refills. Very nice dining experience.

We came here on a Monday night and were seated quickly. Highly recommend the hot honey pies and getting the chili oil on the side (Neffy's porkpie was my favorite). The crust was fluffy and had substance, though I wish there was more sauce for some of the pies. They have a wide variety with fun items on the menu like the Xian chili pie and one with sake reduction, which I want to try next time. We tried the one with the grapes thinking it would be cool, but may have been better off without it.

Came here for pizza on a Friday evening. Got there when the place opened so there were plenty of seats available. There is an extensive option for pizzas on the menu so I asked the server for his recommendations. He recommended the hellboy which he said is their signature pizza. He also recommended the sake mountain way so also ordered that as well. Two pizzas were more than enough for 2 people although the pizzas are slightly smaller than your standard pie. The hellboy was salty and sweet and delicious. It comes drizzled with hot honey with complements the pepperoni well. I actually really liked the sake mountain way. It has a more mild flavor and can really enjoy the flavors of the tomato sauce, basil and olive oil. They had this house made hot oil to drizzle over all the pizzas and honestly that was my favorite thing. Was really delicious and it made me think about pocketing the bottle but my conscience got the better of me.

I came here with some friends for dinner on a Saturday night. We didn't realize how long the wait would be but we ended up having to wait around an hour before we got a table. We got the spiced honey vegan sausage pizza and it was amazing. The crust was perfectly cooked and the honey just put it over the top. The vibes were dark and cozy. The whole place was busy and lively. The wait was the only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 but honestly it was prob worth the wait

Pizza and service were awesome but the wait time was outrageous. Not sure if it was worth the wait but it was definitely good pizza.

Great pizza, prices, and atmosphere! I love being able to watch the pizza's being twirled and tossed as the brick oven glows. With a party of four, we waited about 30 minutes. Ordered three pizzas the split. My fave was the kale pesto pie, suggested to us by none other than Mrs. Gee. She's a doll! So friendly, kind and sweet. You can tell she has a passion for pizza and loves her dear husband! She speaks of him so highly and the love can be tasted in the pizza. Such a joy meeting her. We also got the Regina pie and the Hometown Brisket. Regina was a perfect red sauce pie, great flavor and cheese. While the brisket had more of a bbq sweet and smokey taste. Meaty with the brisket of course but not too meaty. Mr. Gee also stopped by our table to check in. We felt like we dropped in for Sunday dinner and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Great Derroit style pizza. They offered to put honey on my pizza, but I'm too set in my ways to even consider such a wild gamble.

this place is solid. they got a bunch of seating in the back if you wanna dine in and jerk or something. Also, there's a lot of space in the outside area if you want to sit outside during the summer. WE got a full pepperoni pie after eating di an di and we were like damn dude i'm still kinda hungry so let's just suck that pepperoni baby service? they gave us the pizza and we ate it lol .wtf u wnat fro me . inside isn't the cleanest but you aren't there for cleanliness. come here if you want some GOOD pizza

Came here late at night with a big party and was graciously seated outside. We ordered pretty much every pizza on the menu and overall very solid. My personal bias though is a nice thin NYC slice, and this pizza doesn't quite hold or have the texture that I am used. Probably a personal preference but with the stiff pizza competition in Brooklyn, I am unsure if I would make the trek out here. 4/5

Really like the lighting and mood of this place. Blues music was playing the whole time and it was a total vibe. The service was good, got good recommendations from our waitress. We settled for 4 different pizzas (Ricotta be kidding me, Ricky Ricotta, Red Hot Cherry Jones, The Famous Original A), personally out of all 4 I preferred the Red Hot Cherry Jones, something about the sweet taste really hit it off with me. Though beware trying this pizza because you don't want to bite down on a cherry pit

Really nice, genuine neighborhood pizza joint that serves no-nonsense slices. I got a regular cheese slice and it was wonderful. The crust had a nice balance of crisp and chew that is the signature of good NYC slices. I wolfed it down so quickly, I forgot to snap a Pic haha. Don't hesitate to stop by here if you're in the mood for some 'zza.

Currently visiting family in Brooklyn and this is always our first stop when we're back in. The vibes are always great, the staff is always friendly and they give great recs. We got four pizzas and shared them, it was the perfect amount for four people. My favorite was the red cherry jones, it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Great pizza spot in Brooklyn- the owner goes from table to table to meet and greet everyone. There's a hospitable touch to this place. The pizza takes a little time to come out, but it's really good.

Awesome food and service. Best rice balls ever followed by incredible pizzas....huge selection. Tiramisu to finish...like my friend's Mom used to make. Don't miss Paulie Gees!

Went on a Friday night. There was a line but it moved pretty quick. Ordered to eat in. Service was very quick. Had 4 different slices and each one was delicious. Will be back for sure.

Very Italian style pizza. Service was great. Ambience is eclectic. It's a very hip crowd here.

I will preface this review by stating that I have been to the slice shop down the street. It is excellent, in my opinion it has one of the best slices in New York. To compare this to that is unfair considering I feel comparing whole pies to slices, and Neapolitan style pizza to electric oven pizza is unrealistic. The location of this pizzeria is about a 5-10 minute walk from Greenpoint Ave on the G train. Inside it looks more like a honky tonk bar meets a castle dungeon, but once I got over the dingy appearance, I was ready to eat. In terms of the pizza, I will break down each pie in its own paragraph. The total came out to $50 for the two pies; initially my plan was to eat half of both pies and save the other half for later. I got the Regina pie and the Ricky Ricotta pie. Both pies came out quick, as Neapolitan pies often do, which helped as I was pretty hungry by this point, and was ready to eat my own hands if I had to wait any longer. Regina: Solid plain Neapolitan pie, nothing more or less. Good tomatoes, nice use of the cheese, the crust is chewy with a bit of a char. It works well. Unfortunately, the pizza cools fast, so I had to eat this pizza fast before it is all ruined. Ricky Ricotta: Tasty pie as well. The fennel sausage comes through nicely, the dollops of ricotta cheese are not overpowering, and the arugula helps balance the flavors to make it digestible. This crust was more on the well done side, and like the Regina pie, this pie starts to cool immediately after it is placed on the table. Because of the quick cooling process, I was forced to redo my plan and eat both pies right on the spot, which initially I was ashamed about, until the Paulie Gee's wife came over to my table to say my experience was not uncommon. Speaking of customer service, I would like to point out two things. -While I did not meet Paulie Gee himself, I met his wife, and she is amazing. She is honest and confident and was thrilled I brought my business over here. She is not naive to the New York pizza game, knowing her competition, and is not afraid to stand toe to toe with them. She was an absolute pleasure to talk to. -The very cute 20-something hostesses are awesome too, especially Rachel and Madison. While their outgoing and bubbly appearances are a welcome change from the one word answers I have gotten in the past, these two ladies deserve my praise and more. Maybe it is because they saw I was by myself and showed some pity, or perhaps this is who they are, hard workers with great charm. Like Paulie Gee's wife, I could have spent all night talking with them, but I know they have a job to do first and had to let them get to that. Great pizza, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere to bring it all together. I am happy I spent my evening here, and hope to do it all again real soon.

This was my 5th time here. This place unfortunately doesn't take reservations. But they are totally worth the wait. Our staff was amazing - she gave us a few recommendations. I got their Hellboy pizza, which was simply delicious. All the other pies we ordered were fantastic too. We loved everything, including the cocktails. Service was very quick. The place itself is not too noisy, and they have very comfortable seating. Would definitely go back here again.

so many options so we asked our server for recs! am personally a fan of white pizza and plenty available came on a friday night and waited a half hour they have a take on vodka pizza but with sake instead. also a pizza with pickled grapes on it which was quite tasty and unique THE paulie gee was there that night and asked us how everything was and how we had heard about the place :)

Was looking for a quick pizza dinner which turned into not so quick around 6:30pm on a sat night. Waited about 30-40 mins. there is a park right down by the water which help with the wait. Ambiance was a little too dark for our 6 and 7 yr olds. Nice place for dates and adult dinners. Pizza was good. There were some interesting and unique pizza options. We ordered 3 pizzas and ended taking almost one whole pie home. Had the salad which was really good and good portion. Ordered a beer too. Nice vibe and pizzas overall. If you are looking for a nice place with good pizza and beer this is a great place.
